Elon Musk unfollows MAGA allies as he fumes over Jeffrey Epstein client list 'cover-up'
Elon Musk has carried out a mass purge of Trump administration allies from his social media, after weeks of mounting tensions over the Big Beautiful Bill bubbled over into a full-scale attack on the integrity of officials working on the Jeffrey Epstein case. The world's richest man has expressed fury over Attorney General Pam Bondi's claims that a full and thorough investigation had not produced an Epstein 'client list' which she had previously said existed. 'This is the final straw,' Musk said, sharing a meme. One day later, he unfollowed Bondi on his X account. He then unfollowed Fox News, which had earlier platformed Bondi as she insisted she had thoroughly investigated the matter. Trump had vowed to uncover the true extent of the 'cover up' surrounding Epstein's crime and his death. Now, the FBI and Bondi insist he did in fact commit suicide, and that the purported client list they'd long discussed does not exist. Musk has also now purged his X account of other Trump allies, including House Speaker Mike Johnson, Congresswoman Nancy Mace, Energy Secretary Chris White, MAGA activist Scott Presler and the White House 's Rapid Response account. He railed against the Trump administration for not taking any action to arrest those related to Epstein's child sex trafficking crimes, twice suggesting it was because they were looking to cover for people on the list. Back in early June when he and Trump first fell out over the Big Beautiful Bill, Musk sensationally claimed on X that the president was 'in the Epstein files' and thus trying to delay their publication. 'Time to drop the really big bomb: [Trump] is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!',' he wrote, before ultimately deleting the post and apologizing. Now he claims that former Trump advisor Steve Bannon is implicated in the files. Trump addressed the Epstein files on Tuesday during a Cabinet meeting, appearing to mock a reporter who questioned Bondi's findings. 'Are you still talking about Epstein? This guy has been talked about for years. Are people still talking about this creep? I can't believe you're asking a question about Epstein,' the president said. Trump's base, including high-profile allies like Tucker Carlson and Glenn Beck, are demanding answers and accusing Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel of 'lying' to the American public. Right-wing journalist Laura Loomer posted: 'Who releases a statement about the Epstein files on the Sunday night of 4th of July weekend? Someone who doesn't want you paying attention.' Earlier this year the Trump administration hosted conservative influencers to the White House to give them updates on the Epstein files. The group was trotted out of the residence holding binders that claimed to contain additional information on Epstein and his crimes. However, the contents of those binders were later discovered to be full of previously disclosed information and lacked any new bombshells as promised. Bondi said in February Epstein's client list was 'sitting on her desk,' but has since walked back that statement. Musk's status within Trump's political sphere has been teetering on the brink for months after the duo fell out over Trump's controversial Big Beautiful Bill, which ultimately passed through Congress last week. He described the bill as an 'abomination' which would 'destroy millions of jobs in America and cause immense strategic harm to our country.' Trump's BBB is $3.3 trillion legislation package encapsulating much of what he campaigned on, extending the 2017 tax cuts and eliminating tax on tips and overtime. At the time, many Republicans refrained from publicly criticizing Musk even as he and Trump's tit-for-tat worsened. Speaker Johnson said at the time: 'I count Elon Musk as a good friend, and Congressional Republicans appreciate everything he has done to put a spotlight on waste, fraud, and abuse in government. 'With all due respect, Elon is simply wrong about the One Big Beautiful Bill.' But the relationship has soured even further with Musk's latest round of attacks and in light of his vow to launch an America Party to run against the Republicans and Democrats. The party will challenge Republicans in the 2026 midterm election, targeting specifically those who voted in favor of the BBB - which was all but five Republicans. 'I am saddened to watch Elon Musk go completely 'off the rails,' essentially becoming a TRAIN WRECK over the past five weeks. He even wants to start a Third Political Party, despite the fact that they have never succeeded in the United States,' Trump said. Even Trump's most loyal right-hand woman, referred to as the 'Ice Maiden' in Washington, has now weighed in on the demise of the bromance her boss and Musk briefly enjoyed. Chief of Staff Susie Wiles said Musk appeared to have a 'fatherly fixation' on Trump and the pair shared somewhat of a father-son connection. 'It was a great thing when it was a great thing, and had a very, I think, a very troublesome ending,' she said. 'The president was very, very kind to him, and Elon had so much to offer us... I know that what has been said doesn't ring accurate to me, but I don't know, I enjoyed working with Elon.'

Freddie the K9 beagle returns to work after being kicked by passenger at airport
A police K9 went back to work at Dulles International Airport in Virginia, outside Washington, D.C., on Wednesday, two weeks after being kicked so hard by a traveler that he became airborne. Freddie, a beagle, was screening a man's luggage and alerted his handler, Customs and Border Protection Agriculture Specialist Melissa Snyder, that the bag may contain fruit and other foods on June 24. Seventy-year-old Hamed Aly Marie, an Egyptian national, had arrived at the airport along with his wife. Snyder asked about their luggage, and it was at that point that Marie intentionally kicked Freddie's right side, lifting the dog off the ground and causing bruising and a contusion, according to CBP. 'It scared him more than anything,' Snyder told CBS News. She said the K9 was taken to see an emergency veterinarian. Marie was detained by CBP and handed over to authorities with the Department of Homeland Security. Freddie was originally a rescue dog but has spent nearly two years in the service of CBP. The K9 was trained to identify luggage holding food items from abroad which may lead to the possible introduction of pests or blights that could damage American agriculture. "He thinks we're playing hide-and-seek and he loves to play hide-and-seek all day," Snyder told CBS News. "To him, it's the greatest game in the world, because he gets paid in treats." Beagles, a relatively small breed with a powerful sense of smell, are optimal for airport work as they may come across as less threatening than larger dogs. During his 22 months at CBP, Freddie has found 4,500 pounds of plant products and 3,800 pounds of meat. That includes 140 pounds of bushmeat such as rats, snakes, camels, and crocodiles. CBP said in a statement that Marie's bag held more than 100 pounds of agricultural products not allowed to enter the U.S. He has pleaded guilty to a federal criminal count of malicious assault on a police animal. Marie was sentenced to time served and agreed to pay Freddie's veterinarian fee, totaling $840. He flew back to Egypt on June 26. Snyder said in a video shared by CBP on Facebook 'It's impressive that people who aren't even citizens of the country are equally concerned about what's happened to him.' She added that because of the bruising to his right side, he's on 'light duty for a couple of weeks.' 'Freddie is probably the sweetest dog we have,' she continued. 'He likes to show off.' 'Whenever he comes to and from the kennel, he has a ducky toy that he thinks he has to carry back and forth,' she noted, before thanking people who have reached out to share their support. 'It's greatly appreciated, it's been nice to have the support from everyone who really cares about him,' said Snyder. Christine Waugh, CBP's Area Port Director for Washington, D.C., said in a statement on June 26: 'Being caught deliberately smuggling well over one hundred pounds of undeclared and prohibited agriculture products does not give one permission to violently assault a defenseless Customs and Border Protection beagle.' 'We rely heavily on our K9 partners, and Freddie was just doing his job,' she added. 'Any malicious attack on one of us is an attack on all of us, and CBP will continue to work with our investigating and prosecuting partners to deal swift and severe justice to perpetrators.'

The Secret Service suspended six staffers without pay or benefits after Trump assassination attempt
The Secret Service suspended six staffers without pay or benefits after President Donald Trump 's first assassination attempt nearly a year ago. On July 13, 2024, Trump, who was the frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination at the time, was at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, when a 20-year-old gunman fired at him. A bullet grazed Trump's ear, prompting Secret Service agents to shield him with their own bodies. As Trump was being swept away to safety, he raised his fist in the air and mouthed, 'Fight, fight, fight.' The gunman, Thomas Matthew Crooks, killed one person and injured two others before a Secret Service sniper fatally shot him. Secret Service Deputy Director Matt Quinn has now told CBS News six agency staffers were put on unpaid leave for 10 to 42 days after the attempt on Trump's life. The agents were denied benefits during their suspension, and when they came back to work, they were placed into restricted duty or roles with less operational responsibility, according to the CBS report. Quinn admitted the attempted assassination was an 'operational failure' for which the Secret Service is 'totally accountable'. But the deputy director defended the decision not to fire the six agents outright. "We aren't going to fire our way out of this,' he said. 'We're going to focus on the root cause and fix the deficiencies that put us in that situation." Then-Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle stepped down from her leadership role shortly after the Butler incident and subsequent calls for her resignation. A bipartisan House task force found 'various failures in planning, execution, and leadership' that, mixed with 'preexisting conditions,' created 'an environment in which [Trump] — and everyone at the campaign event — were exposed to grave danger,' according to a 180-page report. The report identified 'preexisting issues in leadership and training' at the Secret Service. That included agency staffers 'with little to no experience in advance planning roles [who] were given significant responsibility, despite the July 13 event being held at a higher-risk outdoor venue with many line of sight issues, in addition to specific intelligence about a long-range threat.' Another assassination attempt on Trump at his Florida golf course on September 15, 2024, was foiled by a Secret Service agent who fired at suspect Ryan Routh before a single shot was fired at Trump. Routh faces federal charges for the assassination attempt.
